    my guess (regarding split divisions) is it’s just money, there are many more times hardcore male gamers than female… but people want to watch female gamers as much or more than men…
    so if you had coed competitions, they’d end up being 95% male, and they’d make less money…

        duly noted….
        i was speculating on the reasoning behind their rules; having a split women’s and men’s divisions…. not the reasoning for being trans-exclusive.

          Oh, I was talking about the trans exclusion. Sorry, I didn’t mean to come across as nitpicky; I thought your comment was calling trans women men and I wanted to test the waters without being overly confrontational.
